SAHAR AHMED

I am an AI Devops and Cloud Modernization Leader with over a decade of experience helping defense programs modernize mainframe systems and migrate mission-critical workloads securely into the cloud. I’ve had the privilege of working on some of the nation’s most important programs at Lockheed Martin (F-35 & F-22) and Raytheon, where I led teams through complex modernization efforts that balanced legacy stability with cutting-edge innovation.
At Lockheed, I helped transform JCL, DB2, VSAM, and CICS workloads into secure, scalable architectures on AWS GovCloud—always keeping mission readiness at the center. At Raytheon, I’ve expanded that work by bringing together automation (Ansible, Kubernetes, Rancher, Helm).

What really drives me is the leadership side of technology. I enjoy mentoring engineers, guiding teams through DevSecOps adoption, and showing how strong engineering discipline and creativity can coexist. My comptia Security+ certification reinforces that focus on building solutions that are not only innovative but also cyber-secure and ATO-ready.
